The Dress...then and now

This year my husband & I celebrate

22 years of wedded bliss!

 

  When I first saw this dress, I knew it was the one!

 

My daughter tried on my dress last summer...

and it brought tears to my eyes!

She is such a beautiful young lady!

So sweet, so loving!

A treasure!

It is my constant prayer that she will find 

the perfect mate that God

is preparing just for her.

And that they will be as happy

as we are!

And maybe this dress will again be

 a treasured keepsake

of another lifelong adventure!

Please join as we celebrate and share

all things WEDDING!

At Angelic Accents!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

White Wednesday 101

Last weekend was our annual 

neighborhood rummage sale!

I did not have time to put together my own sale,

nor did I have much time to plunder, unfortunately.

But I did manage to find a couple

of white treasures to share for

Faded Charm's

White Wednesday!

I'm always on the look-out for 

crocheted doilies,

tablecloths,

and vintage jewelery

to use in my crafting!

I think this pin would look nice on a journal.

Cameos are ALWAYS a good find!

And isn't she adorable!

Another good journal or

altered canvas piece!

But here is my favorite find!

A crocheted lace and pearl collar!

I don't think I could have too many of these!

Even though I really don't know what

I will do with them.

Do you have any suggestions???

Happy White Wednesday Hugs!

SPRING!

One of the advantages

to having an

abnormally cool spring

is that the tulips

have lasted a lot longer than usual!

 

I love this time of year!

Can't wait for my lilac bush to bloom!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

Inspiration

Inspiration is EVERYWHERE!

There are so many things

that catch my eye,

and I think,

"Someday, I would like to try that!"

If I had a book to hold

everything I would like to make

it would fill many volumes in a library....

~ But this ~

This was just what I needed

to get myself off my seat

and actually create!

Karen over at Todolwen made this beautiful

sewing kit from a 

Bath & Body Works Wallflowers box.

Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

(You need to go to her blog & see all the goodies she has packed inside this little box!  It's incredible!)

And here is my version:

 What started out as my own sewing box...

 ended up a "nature" box!

(which is why there's pattern paper covering the inside instead of sheet music!)

 Stamped muslin and sprigs of lavender cover the inside of the box lid.

 And little inspirations of nature fill the bottom.

 

 This was to be a Mother's Day gift for my mom,

so I wanted to fill it with things she likes...

like lavender and bird houses!

I'm hoping to find more of these little boxes at

Bath & Body Works so I can make more!

Linking up with 

Kathleen at Faded Charm

for 

White Wednesday #99!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Hugs!
